To blog or not to blog…
Mac link of the day: Browsers in the Hands of an Angry God - it’s offensive and silly and despite it all, hilarious.
If you don’t follow all the browser technobabble or if you need a bigger push to convert to the One True Browser, take a look at this article on how one blogger switched to Mozilla. He mentioned an old article, A Standard for Site Organization, which was a nice idea but doesn’t seem to have caught on. I surfed around the latter site, and found this amusing prediction from 1999 that “inside of a year” the blogging fad would have run its course. I preferred a newer theory I spotted in my blog rounds but can’t track down now: blogs will eventually replace the Usenet newsgroups.

I switched to Mozilla a couple of months ago and I’m generally very happy. The engine renders *real* quick compared to Netscape, and accurately. But I’m frustrated by how slow the menus and toolbars are. It’s much, much slower than NS ever was, on the same machine. Don’t know why….

Mozilla is a bit bloated. If you don’t use it for email, you might want to try one of the trimmed-down versions - Phoenix for Windows, Linux and OS/2, or Chimera (uh, Camino) for OSX. They’re linked on the mozilla.org page.
